8:00 pm
except more hardline people are waiting in the wings the same. number of forces within the freedom and. change group has broken rocks coming this party has withdrawn from the coalition and has condemned agreements. this so called evolution or a front. door for number of 4. other. military groups has also complained and issued a very harsh condemnation so we have what we have we do have. a problem in this. there are hard line on both sides what i'm happy about the direction. in the process of getting to where we are just about to get in the next. you've got in effect the protesters on one side you've got the military on the other side they've now got to sit down with each other yes who has compromised more than the other
8:01 pm
side who has given ground given the most ground yet i think the military or the people who have given most grounds under pressure because they have accepted almost every demand of the freedom agenda. movement. they have the prime minister and incidentally the prime minister has already been named as mr abdullah . former un official and they they had the control of the. civilian cabinet and the cabinet now has all powers except a limited to powers and they also have agreed to have 67 percent of the an elected parliament so all the demands of the freedom and coalition has been accepted almost the only thing that's
8:02 pm
a matter of contention and concern has been the control over the military and the security forces for the time being the military insists that they should appoint the prime minister and the they the defense and interior minister so this is. this is where. people have consensus ok clearly a very very significant moment for sudan not just for sudan but for the entire region so once we get past the ceremony and the ceremonial that we're watching live here out of khartoum at some point the protestors opposite the region former members of the regime those protesters those civilians looking at the military guys thinking well you know the past and the military guys are looking at the civilians thinking you're the future. can it actually who are the threat well know exactly but that's not my key point can they actually get past where they've seen this so
8:03 pm
many years now and work together this is not how it's going to work was going to happen in that a civilian government in the place it will have the power to do almost whatever it wants and now. what is going to happen is that now the minute the the new government will try to change to make changes they have the power to make those changes in constitutional jams now the question will be to what extent will the military set by and accept all these jailed for example let's say the prime minister after appointing his cabinet would decide for example to change the commander of the armed forces or to. to ask to pass laws which are strictly military and security forces remit he
8:04 pm
has a right to do that and he can do it. so how will their act as a question they also have since he is going to control the justice system he can arrest anybody he wants and put them from the president down how would they they or their supporters accept for example that their. leaders to preserve and put their will trial. he has a right of course to retire members of the military and members of the security forces all this he will have to do the civilian cabinet has a right to do. i suspect they will be trying to do it. there will be practically how much would the military to let ok mr elephant or your people come to know during the coming hours in the meantime so thank you so much. still to come

8:22 pm
hello and welcome to the program. emerson my god came to power in zimbabwe with promises of change and reform the rule of his predecessor robert mugabe had been marked by economic collapse and crackdowns on dissent but nearly 2 years since the one god what took charge little has changed the economy is still struggling while rights groups say abuses are continuing and critical voices are being silenced the main opposition party defied a government ban to hold protests on friday but these were violently broken up by the police we'll go to our panel in just a few moments but 1st our own we toss a report from harare. leaders in the opposition had gone to court to try to overturn the police that were deprived of the judge saying that there was no case that people had already started assembling here at this park in the city as a tirade to protest leaders with the ripening started it will be obvious that even
8:23 pm
the relief and dry police in the sands and on $100.00 people are living here is one of the men who was beaten in the protests this intern's look at it heard it. just standing doing nothing what she waited for him to come but of which would do well to the crippling of a corner saying little is old for treason would it not denote nothing the british citizen or woorabinda to filter through her creates a quote where what's been silly some of the good. things the problem is the riddle turned into proof it's just one syrian rebels people brutal refolding related by police during the presidency believe they are the reason why they bad government is because they have information that some of the opposition want as long as they say that somebody had just asked the wrong in some parts of the city that they want to be in the going to ninety's to restrain windows and only the freedom of the shops
8:24 pm
opposition has to deny over you they say that even though the protests in harare was banned they are promising to continue with the practice in other cities and towns. zimbabwe has been struggling for decades during robert mugabe's 3 decades in power zimbabwe entered a state of near perpetual crisis between 1901 and 2008 the economy shrunk by 50 percent analysts blame overspending corruption and mismanagement while mugabe blamed foreign sanctions over his human rights record. by 2008 inflation hit 231000000 percent rendering zimbabwe's currency worthless when mugabe was ousted in 2017 emerson and god were promised reforms to revive the economy but so far he's had little success there have been protests over widespread shortages of fuel and other necessities the world food program says half the country's population will struggle to get one meal a day by early next year. all
8:25 pm
right let's go now to our guests joining us in wellesley massachusetts cheaper than dollar a she is a professor of african studies at wellesley college and in london patricia kay she is the spokeswoman in the u.k. and ireland for zimbabwe's opposition party the movement for democratic change or m.d.c. we had the zimbabwean government spokesman lined up for the show but he pulled out minutes before we started recording. let me start with you how worried are authorities about the prospect of more protests and how bad do you think the situation could get. based on give response a gay way they had you know a lot of police out on the streets and i salute you as the presidential guard out on the street i think it suggests that the elite well larry and they would want to . i think if it is that people haven't come out and express their consent and so
8:26 pm
they have sent out a heavy. deal that we need and the implication patricia what do you think ultimately these protests will achieve. i think that they will raise the issues that are faced in zimbabwe just to raise those issues to the popularity of zimbabwe but also to the international world i think that they were exposing their bad governance of the current government. but more importantly that there is a need for change in the country and that there is a need for political change and that is what the current government is fighting against which to put into emerson and god were promised things would get better under his leadership that there would be greater transparency that there would be
8:27 pm
more investment but many say the economy has actually deteriorated under his rule just how bad are things there concerning the economy. your listeners might remember back in 2008 when the well we had serious inflation and people who read lots of money we have seen people lots of money because they know cash there's a serious case. but at i think if we go way way back in the term finance and asked if you need to go which is that involve listening to says the end of any answer meant inflation this and that suggests that things are pretty bad what we do know for exact is that people are going to need that electricity so people and that means for at least 16 hours a day at these noureddin what's what is the kind of expensive but without inflation numbers with that little nation that is from the ministry of finance we
8:28 pm
can actually use you know statistical economic and answers but what we do have people should what's that the a salaries and at matching the question that it's about was the things that we've. also been somali twice over the last year and i have seen that deterioration in nov 27th to when i last and by the way it all is. and even then you know the question things that are a senate to go out and narrow things have you know they've really gone down. a path because they've no cash really been ok she saying that that image brought back to zimbabwe dial it and it wasn't in that resolution in my opinion to bring back the zimbabwean coverage and we know that when people don't have to dance in it that really affects people's ability to. shape and do business effectively in the country patricia john york a building on what. i just said i mean with with inflation so high with with power
8:29 pm
cuts that last in some areas up to 1000 hours a day shortages of water rising political tensions i mean this can't just be fixed with with mere reforms right now this has to be a complete overhaul of the economic system. yes there has to be a complete overhaul of the economic system but i think that in order to achieve that overhaul there needs to be a review of governance they need to be a change of government we know that the issues that are currently facing zimbabwe have snowballed out of the political crisis the political legitimacy of the current government and taking you back to 2 to last year during the how more now is the elections which clearly showed that the winner of those elections was president
8:30 pm
nelson chamisa and what followed with the declaration of the zimbabwe electoral commission and the corn court declaring the current administration into into presidency so we think that if the political reforms are not managed and not carried out there is going to be no change with regard to the economic reforms so we need to get back to the drawing board we need to get back to political legitimacy in order to address some of these things the current government does not have the capacity to turn around the economy they have completely failed when minister i'm totally came into office he made a lot of promises but we have not seen any of those promises realized so we need to go back to the drawing board cheaper than during the opposition from your
8:31 pm
perspective using the right tactics your. and the opposition is in a difficult position. on one hand i think the east and. into the pool for the opposition to engage in sam dad not there. because it is not people estat in limbo we've seen people out in the streets and people are getting bits and you know there are chances that some people let in beverly injured innocent people who'd lose their lives but i also understand why the opposition made that willing to engage in day not least the current meant because from the atmospherics they went the last election you know because the people's lives i think it's really important that that was change than see it as sitting down that meant that they still think that the opposition is doing the best they can and i think bowing out of practice is as bad a procedure that actually everywhere in the world would see
8:32 pm
a proto cinema president branson didn't say that and they make it so that even that been wrong because that's something that is protected by the press the 2 should end when the opposition has told was the way that i am it is for certain splendid by using bad and so it wasn't that i think their options are only mxit other than mal trying to engage me in this and then that way can what with me what would need to happen or ask to see any kind of resolution is that the opposition needs to be clear about what it is that being wet from the government in those things that they need from the government have to be achieve the goals i don't see him as a member of the stepping down tomorrow so an action that asking him to step down is major liesl the situation and i think that sent me it would sort of just read latin but it does seem to make think that we have asked to be moved to give their opposition much more than say you know you can just see at ways the present i think
8:33 pm
they have to be moving to give up sam power to. governance of sounds like maybe the opposition but i think right now we haven't been as late you know that it was anything when i'm going to come and sit down and talk to him as an innocent man that was government to think well we don't have really any reason to give it any power to concede anything to the opposition and that when seen as a think the attics and. patricia chaney ok you just heard chip in dari talk about the fact that there is an impasse and also the need for the opposition to be clearer about what exactly it is that they want i want to get your response that but i also want to ask you course the m.d.c. leader nelson chamisa he's indicated that the opposition is calling for more than just concessions regarding austerity so what else is being called for so as i think will present to mrs been very clear as has already been alluded to.
